Five years of GraphQL 🎉
In celebration of five years since its release, some key figures in the GraphQL community have shared their thoughts on how it has changed the way teams communicate and collaborate. They highlighted that GraphQL empowers developers to request for specific data they need, reducing communication overhead with API teams. The most popular feature is GraphiQL, which helps users visualize queries and responses. Some improvements suggested include better support for microservices, more opinionated authorization, easier onboarding for beginners, and handling errors in the query. Challenges of using GraphQL include initial adoption and building a good server that leverages modern trends. The most popular way to convince someone to migrate to GraphQL is by showcasing its features and benefits.
